FindFunc

Finds and prints function definitions/signatures in source code files. It currently handles JavaScript, Shell, Python (classes too, since they're just functions anyway 😄), and C-style function definitions, as well as Makefile targets. It will highlight the body of the functions for readability.

Dependencies

These are installable with pip:

Name	Description
colr	Terminal colors.
docopt	Command line argument parsing.
printdebug	Debug printing for command line tools.
pygments	Source code highlighting.

Installation:

This package is listed on PyPi, and is installable with pip:

pip install findfunc

Usage

    Usage:
        findfunc -h | -v
        findfunc PAT -p [-a] [--color] [-D] [-S] [-s]
                 [-c pat] [-C pat] [-e pat] [-f pat] [-l num] [-m num]
        findfunc PAT [PATH...] [-a] [--color] [-D] [-S] [-s]
                 [-c pat] [-C pat] [-e pat] [-f pat] [-l num] [-m num]

    Options:
        PATH                   : Zero or more file paths to search.
                                 If the path is a directory it will be walked.
                                 Default: stdin
        PAT                    : Function name or regex pattern to search for.
        -a,--any               : Matches anywhere in the name.
                                 This is the same as: (.+?pattern|pattern.+?)
        --color                : Always use color.
        -c pat,--contains pat  : Only show definitions that contain this
                                 pattern in the body.
        -C pat,--without pat   : Only show definitions that do not contain
                                 this pattern in the body.
                                 This cancels out any -c pattern.
        -D,--debug             : Print some debugging info while running.
        -e pat,--exclude pat   : Regex pattern to exclude file paths.
        -f pat,--filter pat    : Regex pattern to include file paths.
        -h,--help              : Show this help message.
        -l num,--length num    : Show definitions that match this line length.
                                 Tests can be prepended:
                                     >N  : More than N lines.
                                     <N  : Less than N lines.
                                    >=N  : More than or equal to N lines.
                                    <=N  : Less than or equal to N lines.
                                     =N  : Exactly N lines.
                                    ==N  : Exactly N lines.
                                      N  : Exactly N lines.
        -m num,--maxcount num  : Maximum number of definitions to show.
        -p,--paths             : Search all directories found in the config
                                 file.
        -S,--signature         : Just print the signatures found.
        -s,--short             : Use shorter output mode.
        -v,--version           : Show version.

    Any file with a name like '[Mm]akefile' will trigger makefile-mode.
    Unfortunately that mode doesn't work for stdin data.

    JSON config can be loaded from: ~/findfunc.json

Demo

Here is a recording showing FindFunc's output when ran multiple times for various file types:

Instead of typing each command, I made a script to do it for me. So it may seem a little fast. It's running findfunc PATTERN DIR_OR_FILE with or without a --maxcount or --signature flag set.

Config

Config is a JSON file that can be loaded from CWD, ~/findfunc.json, or ~/.local/share/findfunc.json.

It's format is:

{
    "default_paths": ["my_dir1", "my_file1", "/home/me/scripts"]
}
